Just how posh does he sound there! Back when the Beeb insisted on only the best Queens English, I suppose..

[Webby the Bear]

He's grown a bit older since this ............. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F13d1LFlXc and a little less 'posh' 

definitely less posh. ive always wondered how he became so posh bearing in mind he's from doncaster!

10 points if you can tell me what popular 1986 tv series that stately home in his car review was in

Ah, but ee can still talk the Yarkshire talk when ee 'as t' . as seen on the Top Gear when the star in the reasonably priced car was Parky 

No idea about the stately home though

People are missing the point.Top Gear Clarkson is a persona,its not the real him.He can be (when he wants to be) a good,thoughtful journalist who is capable of good quality work.His programme on Isambard Kingdom Brunel being a case in point.
He gets on my nerves sometimes,but overall Im glad we have him.There must always be a place for outrageous,right wing knee jerk reactionary people on TV,even if it is an exaggerated persona.Otherwise we will be left with namby pamby,lefty,PC tedious bores - which is exactly what we get 90% of the time.

That was a classic, Mrs Cool isn't normally a fan, but she watches it now

Nowhere near as daft as he would like us to believe he is. Far from it.

.............the reason why the TG escapism is needed!!! 

i don't think he's the best car reviewer by far; he seems to twist certain things to sound good or bad, depending on what he wants, that aren't actually right.

having said that they all do it... hammond's review of the mustang being a prime example when he talked about the ''neat'' horsepower figure of 500
